Asus CHV Formula overclocking

[Dumo]

Would it help OC if I connected up the extra 4-pin CPU power just above the am3+ socket?

Or is that just ment for liquid helium?

I haven't try it. No 4pin on my psu, I will try with another psu when running multi gpus for 3D

any one can help me with setting to get 3000 ht and nb freq.
any help will be apro.

Here with X4 980 out of the box, D9 and SS cooling..



Bios..






Win..



Turbo evo..





From here on I will work on fine tuning all Voltage and ram settings for specific bench with SS cooling

nice Dumo.... yur kicking butt with this board

yeah just got a new psu OCZ ZX 850w.... and it has 2x8pin cpu plugs so i was curious, but considering that im going from a Corsair 520w to a 850w Gold%.... i dont think it will be to much of a concern since im not doing liq or ln2.

bout to do another round of testing with new psu...see if i can get some better results plus i wanna test new bios 0705

this board cant wait for bulldozer

just picked one of these up today along with a 955, first time to ever play with AMD and so far I am liking this setup

Hey Dumo...u selling your board??

[Isbre]

You guys tried BIOS 0811 or 0099 for CVF? Any good for Deneb/Thuban?

[Dumo]

@Mav.....Yes, have 2 boards (1 is for backup) because I thought BD will be retail available this month

[The Stilt]

0099, 0811 & 0813 are BD "optimized".

But it's only two weeks away

I just bought one of these from SuperBiiz...$219.99 with promo + free ground

I wish I'd bought yours >.<

0099 is okay for my thuban

Thanks for info Stilt

Bios 0052...

Welcome to the club l0ud

thanks what kind of cooling is that for the 980?

[mav2000]

Nice going Dumo...finally found a set of Flares...should be with me in a week or two..

SS...barely keep up with this chip @ 4 cores

Good find Mav

Well...I have a bit of a dilemma.
After I enter OC settings I get a black screen...I have to reset cycle about ~5 times rapidly to get it to work...the second time always shows DRAM_LED on...

I'm on 0705, I wonder if this is fixed by 0055?

I just returned my board as I was having an error when entering the bios (invalid input range) followed by a freeze.

I tried clearing the cmos (by pressing the button as well as removing the battery), different keyboards and mice and a different cpu and memory and still the same thing.

Oh well, just have to find another one, regardless I really like the board and I will be buying another one.

I actually had to move back to my Hypers because I can not get my board to post on 1333/1600 dividers at all with PSC.

Mind you these sticks boot 2000+ 7-9-6 on M4A89TD...

1066 divider is okay, but only at 9-9-9 with them...however when I'm in windows I can load CPU-Tweaker, Turbo Evo...OC HT ref until they are around ~1300 and set them down to 9-6-5 ><

Something is wrong with either compatibility or the board has some major bugs.

I cant boot past 1800 with Hypers either, nomatter what subs...1600 6-6-6-18 1.575v boots fine just like my old board. I can post all the way to 1950, however instant BSOD upon windows boot. On the other board, I was posting past 2000 (I even booted past 2000 a few times).

Currently sitting at 4100 / 3000 / 1600 C6.

This issue is only with thuban, overclocking a dual core chip was quick and easy...

weird I was running the GSkill ECO 1600 7-8-7-24 1.35v kit which is either psc or bbse and could not get 2000 to get in to windows either, however this was on a 955

[PatRaceTin]

yes my psc / hynix bfr also hard stable 2000

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

yes my psc / hynix bfr also hard stable 2000

so is this an IMC issue or bios issue?

[Dumo]

Initial release bios 0404 seems more (2000+ memory) friendly with my Gskill C8. I'm not sure with Thuban though

[Dumo]

Testing on air bios 0052

Boot up ok @ bus 298 and use Turbo V to 301...

My issue is not 2000, it's getting the board to post at settings other than 1066 9-9-9...1600 7-9-7 even will not POST
